One in four men surveyed for a United Nations study in Asia and the Pacific admitted raping at least one woman.

The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific surveyed over 10,000 men at nine sites in six countries: Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka. At the survey site in China, 23 percent of men admitted to at least one rape. In Papua New Guinea, that figure was 61 percent.

To understand what’s behind such startling figures, National Geographic spoke with Rachel Jewkes, the lead technical adviser for the study.

A scary statistic…

As shocking as these numbers are, they are heavily skewed by the fact that a clear outlier, PNG, is vastly overrepresented as a proportion of the combined survey. The number in no way can be taken a representative sample of the Asia/Pacific.

Alex, you didn’t answer me before..

Is SE dokard BS for UA?

Wow.

Presumably the actual % of rapists is higher given that
a) not many people would claim to have raped if they had not
and
b) some people who had raped would deny it

Yes.

They didn’t say rape outright, but still, it’s unimaginably awful.

I knew a man who committed suicide after being accused in court of date rape.
